Editor: This untitled piece by Robyn Denny features geometric shapes and bold colors. It’s striking how the smooth surfaces contrast with the industrial feel of the shapes. What story do the materials and forms tell you? Curator: Considering Denny's work within post-war British art, I see an exploration of how industrial printing processes democratized art. The flat, unmodulated color fields remove the artist’s hand, transforming art into a mass-producible object. What implications does this have for the concept of artistic labor? Editor: That's fascinating, I hadn't considered the impact of production methods on the art itself. Curator: Precisely! Denny prompts us to question the division between high art and everyday design and its consumption.
